REVIVAL IS ON THE WAY

OPENNESS IN PRAYER

Revival is on the way and it begins with openness. I feel this in my spirit. Most revivals are born in prayer, and I long to be able to pray with someone about this in a setting where we are completely open, honest, and vulnerable. Then God can show us what we really need and He can remove all hindrances.

I have prayed with women on this level over the years, and it was a blessing. We called out to God for His blessing. We didn’t pray long prayers, often just short sentence prayers. And we listened for the Lord to show us what to pray. But at this time I don’t have such a prayer partner in my life. My dear friend Ellie has gone on to heaven. This must be a "God thing" so I am waiting on the Lord to show me the right woman to pray with.

Do you need someone like this in your life? Call out to God, and He will bring you together with the right person. Women often find it easier than men do to open up humbly to one another, but we can help one another. If we are focusing on God, we will not worry about being vulnerable.

Everyone has problems with someone in their family or with themselves. God is the only one who can solve these problems.

Fellowship in prayer will make us stronger in our faith. We will be more open with God if we can learn to be open with another person. This person must be trustworthy, of course, so it will probably be someone we have known for a while. Our church has been praying for revival and I am eager to see what God will do for us.

REVIVAL IS ON THE WAY

Prepare the road, remove the obstacles!
Revival is on the way.
God lives on high but He reaches down.
He wants to revive us today.

God reaches out to the lowly and contrite.
He wants to energize us and forgive.
He is grieved by our sin and rebellion.
Jesus will show us a better way to live.

God will guide us and restore comfort.
He will create praise on our lips that mourn.
But first we must bring Him hearts that are broken.
Are we grieved by our sin? Are our hearts torn?
